I'm sure this will carry a *ton* of weight with the prof (some random commenter on the internet said this!), but dude, I'm female, and I definitely have fetishes. In the interests of decency, I won't get into them here, but we do exist. Tell your prof that he's a nutjob.

Now I wonder what happened to this poor girl. Dan, do you ever get follow-up letters, and if so, when you're on vacation or doing whatever it is you're doing right now, can you post those (with the original), so the especially nosy amongst us get to follow the story longer?

I hate dogs. I was once attacked by one, and the owner was going, "He won't hurt you! Here boy!"
I told him to grab it by its fucking collar already, instead of ineffectually shouting for the widdle puppy doggy (that was neither little nor a puppy -- it was a terrifyingly large full grown beast). The owner told me that the doggy's usually never like this. I told him if that dog ever gets near me again, I'm calling the cops on the mutt.
Funnily enough, I never DID see that dog again.

I skip these news stories; my blood pressure can't take it. I just repeat to myself I am lucky to live in a state, in a time, when gay marriage is legal, and that I have come out (more or less, it's basically the openest "secret" in the family that I'm a dyke).

ANYWAY, I just wanted to point this line out: "Terry and I got so gay last night that we rear-ended three people."
Please please tell me that pun was intentional. I laughed so hard!

My email would consist of the sentence: ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND? several hundred times, so I think I'll pass. My blood pressure can't tolerate me sitting down and actually trying to put into WORDS how fucking offensive it is that homophobia is a 'free speech' issue and directly harming kids is ... okay, I'm going to work myself into an aneurysm here. Kudos to those of you who managed to send something vaguely civilized.

Da-aaa-aaa-an, stop writing about stuff I find disgusting! It makes me wanna throw up! Why can't you take out the shit I hate in a popular advice column and just write the stuff that makes MEEE happy???
